<p>Civil Society forms an essential part of our communities up and down the country.
It includes large, national charities, social enterprises, volunteers and small grassroots
organisations but what joins them all is the idea of creating social value to help
build a better society.</p><p> </p><p>Government funding to civil society is ring-fenced
for particular projects or programmes. Grant agreement terms and conditions prohibit
grant funding being used for paid for lobbying and political campaigning.</p><p> </p><p>The
Cabinet Office publishes grants data on www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-grants-register
for all departments. Within that data, the Ministry of Justice grant schemes that
may relate to civil society funding are identifiable. We do not pay grants for campaigning
activities.</p><p>The data for 2016/17 and 2017/18 has already been published and
it is expected that the data relating to 2018/19 will be published by end of March
2020 as part of the Cabinet Office transparency agenda.</p>
